We facilitate change by connecting local sources of innovation and solutions to broader international capability, robust evidence, and empirically validated methodologies.
We recognise the limitations of ‘single issue’ technical expertise when applied as a quick fix to problems that are rooted in deeper behaviours and political-societal structures. We prioritise contextual knowledge, locally led expertise and multi-dimensional approaches. Our behavioural science-informed methodologies provide a more granular understanding of the causes of problems and identify entry points for change.
Because we have been at the frontline of delivery ourselves, we understand the pain points of those tasked with implementing difficult changes. We engage with counterparts non-judgmentally to build trust and co-create solutions.
We have been entrusted to advise on a wide range of sensitive interventions. We therefore can draw on an established body of learning—including that which is not in the public domain—to help our clients achieve more realistic outcomes.
Almizan is led by technical specialists with unique experience that allows us to support and advise across programme strategy and delivery, as well as rigorously quality assure consultants and sub-contractors across strategic- and operational-level support.
Our multidisciplinary team combines specialist thematic and technical expertise—for example, in violent extremism and terrorism (VET); conflict; disinformation; serious organised crime (SOC); corruption; Women, Peace and Security (WPS); conflict sensitivity; monitoring, evaluation and learning; and neuroscience-informed approaches to violence prevention—with deep, local insight and networks from often-overlooked sources.
